A samurai who doesn't want to be a daimyo is not a good onmyoji

Chapter 260 Raid
On the second day, after several hours of fierce attack, the Imagawa family successfully uprooted the Marune and Washizu villages built by Oda Nobunaga. Almost all the defenders were killed, including many well-known samurai in Owari.

When the news came, Imagawa Yoshimoto became even more delighted.

"Sure enough, Motoyasu's power is trustworthy, and the Ii family is also very obedient."

He originally gave the other party such an opportunity because he offered the land. In fact, he also had the intention of killing someone with a borrowed knife. After all, Ii Naomori was able to survive that time. There were some secrets about it. It was probably with the Oda family. Even the Asai family is related.

But now it seems that he thought too much, he really obeyed, and the Oda family seemed to give up resistance, so it seems that his plan can be smoother.

Thinking of this, he didn't know why, but suddenly recalled a certain meeting a few months ago.

"Are you Imagawa Yoshimoto, the strongest daimyo in Tokaido?" asked the walking monk with a withered face, like an evil ghost.

Although the way the other party appeared was extremely strange, he was not surprised at all. He just glared at the other party: "Yes, what do you want to do?"

The traveling monk chuckled: "My name is Layman Guoxin, and today Nippong, only Mr. Jinchuan is the most promising person to win the world, so I want to make friends with you in advance."

"How to make friends?"

"I heard that your mother, Lord Shouguini, has been in poor health recently. I have a spell here that can bring her back to youth, but it will cost some money."

"A spell to return to youth?" He was moved at that time, not only because what the other party said was too magical, but also because Shouguini was more than just his mother.

For the Imagawa family to be as powerful as it is now, she, who is known as the "Warring States Period Female Daimyo", and her late teacher Taiyuan Xuezai are undoubtedly the two most important people.

"What's the price?"

"It just requires some people to give some energy. They may feel a little sleepy, but it's not a big deal. And if more people contribute energy, the damage to them will be smaller. Maybe they won't feel it at all. , let my maid Hongye do it for you."

A few months later, her mother returned to her youth. The spell was really effective. She, who was already very old, now looked like a young woman under 30 years old. Even in order to avoid outsiders being suspicious, she , she had to wear a veil all day long.

Moreover, although the residents of Sunpu Castle felt a little trapped at first, they quickly got used to it, and no one became seriously ill or died as a result.

So even though he was wary, his trust in Master Guoxin suddenly increased a lot. Even when they met again, he didn't know why he asked an incredible question.

"Since you have a spell that can bring people back to youth, do you have a spell that can resurrect the dead?"

Until now, he still clearly remembered the astonishment and shock on Master Guo Xin's face, as well as the answer that satisfied him.

"Although it is very difficult to resurrect the dead, it is possible."

"What's the price?"

After experiencing what happened last time and consulting a lot of relevant legends and information, he already roughly knew that the more powerful the spell, the more expensive it was.

"The blood and souls of others are the conditions for making a deal with Netherworld. Moreover, it can also make people return to youth and even gain stronger power."

Looking at the smile on the other party's ugly face, he knew that there must be something wrong with this matter, but he could not refuse the opportunity to meet his teacher again, and he was not without coping methods.
After being in a daze for a while, Imagawa Yoshimoto's eyes flashed with thunder, and he returned to reality. At the same time, he secretly made up his mind that after the teacher and mother are well, he will kill this hidden danger with his own hands!

However, he did not show it on the surface. He just nodded with satisfaction again and said: "Give me the order. The main force will move to Dagao City. By the way, also move out the sedan chair presented by the Jingyi family. This time I will take it." Move forward in a sedan chair and watch the destruction of the Oda family!"

He had always come from a well-known family and admired the style of the Kyoto nobles hundreds of years ago, so he imitated their looks in every move he made. The gorgeous sedan presented by the Ii family during the Chinese New Year last year was undoubtedly very popular with him, and even he I was reluctant to sit on it several times before for fear of damaging it.

But now that they had invaded Owari, there was still no response from the Oda family, so it came in handy.

So soon, according to the order of Imagawa Yoshimoto, the Imagawa family's army started to move. So far, they have hardly received any decent resistance. Even many samurai secretly guessed that the Oda family must be too scared. Do you know how to resist?
According to their current progress, it might not take five days to destroy the Oda family!

At the same time, in the middle between Tagua City and Dagao City, on a hill less than a hundred meters high, with the help of the cover of the woods, two men smiled at the same time. They saw the unique The red sedan is approaching.

They arrived here in advance and found the right place for the ambush. Even at this moment, there were more than a thousand elite soldiers hidden behind them. Thanks to Asai Nagamasa's spells and the reconnaissance of the ninjas, they were able to pass through the Imagawa family smoothly. The defense line comes here.

However, as the Imagawa Army continued to pass by, the smile on Oda Nobunaga's face quickly faded. He began to look at the sky frequently, but there was no cloud in the sky, and it was a rare sunny day.

He couldn't help but grit his teeth. This was not what he expected.

Of course, he was not blindly reckless, but saw something through his guardian spirit peacock. Today and today, there will be a rare squall and rainstorm, and that will be his chance to kill.

But now the storm has not yet come, although the Imagawa family's team is very long and the troops are dispersed a lot, there are still 6000 or [-] people surrounding Imagawa Yoshimoto, and they will undoubtedly be the elite of the Imagawa family. .

If you don't take into account the special strength of yourself and Nagamasa, the gap in military strength between the two sides is still huge.

Seeing Imagawa Yoshimoto getting closer and closer, and the opportunity fleeting, Oda Nobunaga couldn't help but sigh softly, and turned to look at Asai Nagamasa: "Nagamasa, the heavy rain I was looking forward to did not come on time. But I still need it.”

Asai Nagamasa nodded slightly: "I understand, although it is a little late, it will still come, and our army should be almost in place by this time."

As he spoke, he stretched out his hand to form a seal. After two breaths, an invisible light shot straight into the sky.

In the sky, there was a faint and beautiful song of birds, and then suddenly there was thunder and lightning and strong winds. The whole sky became much darker. Then without any warning, large raindrops fell down, and in the blink of an eye, they fell. It was like a downpour.

Elsewhere, the young warrior who was also commanding the army couldn't help but smile when he saw this. He turned to look at the older warrior on the left: "Lord Mitsuhide, His Highness has moved, so let us also add some glory to His Highness. Bar."

As he spoke, bursts of cyan whirlwind began to surround his body, which was a sign that he was using all his strength.

Akechi Mitsuhide, who shouldn't have appeared here, couldn't help but smile, and the water-colored light began to surge on him: "What Hanbei-sama said is true. Although I am not talented, I am willing to do my best for the Lord!"

"Haha, my lords, Sakon won't be participating anymore. It's time for the entire Nibon to see how powerful our infantry is. All the troops, attack!"

The heavy rain came suddenly, and the rain between the sky and the earth almost formed a line. The dense and noisy raindrops instantly covered up all the sounds. The Imagawa army who was marching below was stunned for an instant. They didn't understand why the weather turned like this. So fast.

Oda Nobunaga and the soldiers he led were also extremely surprised, but they had been prepared after all, so they had already adjusted in less than three breaths.

Oda Nobunaga pulled out the tachi from his waist with a "swish" and pointed directly at the red sedan in the distance that was still very conspicuous even in the dim light.

"Haha, it's up to you to die in the name of 'Owari Idiot' or to spread force across the world, today, kill!"

Before he finished speaking, he had already taken the lead and rushed out. On his body, there were faint beasts roaring up to the sky, and peacocks dancing continuously.

"My lord, my Shibata Gon and Rokukatsu family are here!"

The general holding a battle ax also roared and rushed forward. In response, a super giant wild boar with white and red body and many green bamboos like manes on its back was his guardian spirit - the Pig and Bamboo King.

Then dozens of women's clothing, as well as more horse warriors and close warriors, all followed the two of them and rushed forward, their mouths filled with shouts of fighting, and their eyes filled with inexplicable fanaticism.

Seeing that thousands of people reacted in such a short period of time, and followed Oda Nobunaga without hesitation to launch a charge, Asai Nagamasa stood quietly on the spot, but an inexplicable color flashed in his eyes. "So, is this the true power of the Leopard-Tailed God? But Nobunaga, your attack may not be fatal in one hit, because Imagawa Yoshimoto is also not a mortal."

"But Keiji, why weren't you affected?"

He turned and looked at Maeda Keiji, who was a few meters away and was dressed as an ordinary samurai. He even kept hunched over and hiding behind a tree, as if he was afraid of being discovered.

Seeing that he was exposed, Maeda Keiji simply lifted his helmet and threw it aside: "Haha, I can't hide it from you Nagamasa, but should I call you His Highness now?"

"Haha, then do as you wish, but why are you here?"

Asai Nagamasa was still very tolerant of the first real friend he made during his travels, so even though he was not in a very good mood at the moment, he still managed to smile.

"Of course I want to witness your power Nagamasa with my own eyes!"

As he spoke, Maeda Keiji knelt down on one knee and looked into his eyes very seriously: "Mortal power has its limits after all. Nagamasa, let me follow you!"

"Very well, Keiji, trust me, you will never regret it."

Seeing this brave general whom he had no hope of recruiting now actively kneeling in front of him, Asai Nagamasa didn't feel much excitement or pride in his heart.

Not only because the other party is currently just an ordinary warrior without a guardian spirit, but also because his eyes have already been set further.

Even if it weren't for the fact that this battle was of great importance, he would have a great chance of encountering that powerful enemy here. He could not wait to rush to Izumo as soon as possible to investigate Huanglong's affairs.

So he just reached out and summoned the White Tiger: "But Keiji, we have more important things to do right now. Let's make sure you can survive this battle first. A living samurai is more useful than a dead one."

The most urgent task is to rush to Imagawa Yoshimoto as soon as possible to completely end this battle. If Nobunaga can't complete the task, then let him do it for himself!
Maeda Keiji immediately laughed and stood up: "Don't worry, although I can't compare with you Nagamasa, I have improved a lot."

He thought the other party was joking with him. What use could a dead samurai have?
Imagawa Yoshimoto in the sedan finally felt something was wrong. The noise outside was really too noisy. Why did it suddenly rain so heavily?

But before he got any response, he felt the entire sedan trembling. At the same time, even in such a noisy environment, he vaguely heard many screams, and he suddenly felt a sudden shock in his heart. Because it only means one thing, there must be a large number of enemy troops approaching!
In the flash of lightning, he immediately thought of many things: "Is it Oda Nobunaga? Or Asai Nagamasa? Or are they two together?"

But soon he shook his head vigorously. No matter what, it was no longer important. What was important was that if the other party really dared to come, then he would kill them all here!

With a flash of purple light, he cut the entire sedan into two pieces: "Where are Asahina Kintoku and Matsui Munanobu?"

But he didn't get the response he expected. Instead, he heard the old male voice that made him fearful and even disgusted.

"Haha, Mr. Imagawa, I think they have no experience responding to you for the time being because they suffered an ambush."

Following this chuckle, Master Guo Xin came slowly. Although the rain was heavy, it was completely isolated a few meters away from him, as if there was an invisible air shield.

Imagawa Yoshimoto immediately gritted his teeth: "Have you always been here?"

The layman Guoxin chuckled and shook his head: "Haha, Mr. Imakawa, those things are not important now. What is important is that a powerful enemy is coming, and the target is you."

Imagawa Yoshimoto gritted his teeth again: "What about you? Are you here to kill me?"

"No, of course not. On the contrary, I'm here to help you through."

Imagawa Yoshimoto heard the shouts of killing approaching quickly, and at the same time, the guardian spirit in his body seemed to be slightly uneasy. He knew that the coming person must be an extremely powerful enemy. If even it was afraid of it, I am afraid that even an ordinary Ashigaru would be afraid of it. No matter how many, they can't stop the opponent's footsteps.

Imagawa Yoshimoto closed his eyes and took a deep breath. When he opened his eyes again, there was only a flash of lightning in them: "Then use them all and tell them that I, Imagawa Yoshimoto, will not back down so easily. In order to gain the world, I will bear many sins!"

Guo Xin layman laughed loudly, raised his hand, and countless golden-green rays of light whizzed away with bursts of howling ghosts and wolves: "Haha, okay, then let me drive away the heavy rain here for you first, and then refine a spell for you. Form an army of monsters!"

Oda Nobunaga, who was charging desperately, had just killed an enemy general. He grabbed the opponent's head and wanted to say something, but he suddenly felt an extremely dangerous aura.

Not caring about his manners at all, he quickly dodged and dodged, but his mount was not so lucky, it had already been chopped into two pieces before it even neighed.

But when he saw the perpetrator, his pupils could not help but dilate instantly, because it was the headless corpse of the enemy he had just killed!

Ten meters away, screams could be heard one after another. The Imagawa army that had been successfully raided by him caused an even greater disturbance, because many of the dead stood up and started an indiscriminate massacre of everything around them!

At the same time, he also noticed that the heavy rain seemed to be fading quickly. Although it was still raining, it was not as heavy and not so dark. The effect of the sneak attack was reduced by at least [-]%, or even more.

When he looked up, he suddenly saw a red, ominous sky. Almost as soon as he saw it, he seemed to be able to smell the pungent smell of blood!

"Is it the power of demons again? What happened to this world? If the chaos of demons intensifies, even if I gain the entire Nibon."

For the first time, Oda Nobunaga was slightly shaken by his choice, but soon he drew his knife again and neatly cut the headless corpse into two pieces, leaving him dead.

"No matter what, I have only one goal today, and that is Imagawa Yoshimoto's head!"

On the other side, at Matsudaira's house, looking at the red sky, Matsudaira Motoyasu couldn't help but hold his forehead with a hint of sadness: "What the hell is going on? This sky can never be created by Brother Nobunaga or His Highness Nagamasa." for."

Although he had only heard about it, the ninja Hanzo of his family and the kunoichi Ningning of the Asai family had a very deep friendship, so he also got a lot of information that was deliberately revealed by the other party. In any case, it was impossible for the "Dragon of Omi" to do it. Something like a demon happens.

Before the words fell, a ninja stepped over many panicked soldiers with extremely agile movements: "My lord, the army of the Imagawa family was attacked by the Asai family and the Oda family, and suffered heavy losses. At the same time, many of the dead became monsters on the spot. !”

"what?!"

He was immediately shocked: "Hanzo, what about them and Mino's."

The ninja named Hanzo nodded immediately: "Although there are slight differences, it is very similar to Yilong's monster army. Lord, we should have made a decision earlier."

Matsudaira Motoyasu clenched his fists tightly, thinking about the communication with the Oda family envoy last night, and then he nodded fiercely: "The whole army is ready, don't take part in the battle, by the way, Hanzo, please go and see Ii Movement at home!”

But there was no need for him anymore, because a very young samurai who was holding a giant spear and with a childlike expression on his face had already received the exact information: "My lord, the Ii family has withdrawn its troops. It seems that it has already been done for this." We are all prepared, and there seem to be some strange figures among them!"

Matsudaira Motoyasu suddenly realized: "Sure enough!"

He has always wondered why the Yi family had been suppressed so hard for so long in the past few decades, but suddenly he surrendered to the other party?And willingly gave up a large territory?

Perhaps this has been a long-planned strategy from that time on?Their efforts on that day must be repaid several times by the Imagawa family in the future!

Thinking back to the gorgeous red sedan that the Ii family gave to Imagawa Yoshimoto last year, which was also extremely conspicuous in the dark, he suddenly felt a little shuddering, but it also prompted him to make a decision.

"Hanzo, Heihachiro, and the soldiers of Mikawa, let's go back to our Mikawa! Let's get back our Okazaki Castle!"
